You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our monthly "WikiWednesday" evening salon (7-9pm) and knowledge-sharing workshop at Babycastles gallery by 14th Street / Union Square in Manhattan.

We will include a look at the organization and planning for our chapter, and expanding volunteer roles for both regular Wikipedia editors and new participants.

We will also follow up on plans for recent and upcoming edit-a-thons, museum and library projects, education initiatives, and other outreach activities.

We welcome the participation of our friends from the Free Culture movement and from all educational and cultural institutions interested in developing free knowledge projects.

After the main meeting, pizza/chicken/vegetables and refreshments and video games in the gallery!

7:00pm - 9:00 pm at Babycastles gallery, 145 West 14th Street
(note the new address, a couple of doors down from the former Babycastles location)

We especially encourage folks to add your 5-minute lightning talks to our roster, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience! Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) 12:03, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Burnett and Slattery

 

Hello, Jooojay. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Burnett and Slattery".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac (talk) 21:38, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Woodside Store

Hi, the changes I made to the citations on Woodside Store are to conform to American MDY date standards, as well as adding correct author information, non-mobile URL, and https where available. I don't see how any of this would need a remark on the talk page of the article. The visual edit also creates refnames that are a bit hard to be human recognizable between each other when editing so I sought to change that as well. Just wanted to clarify, thanks. Jeanjung212 (talk) 23:47, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

I am sorry for the confusion @Jeanjung212:, are you newer to editing WP? Why you would change the dates to a American MDY format when (yyyy-mm-dd) is acceptable (and part of the built in VE/visual editor) and then on top of that you added in new days for the dates of all the citations? When you make any changes to a Wikipedia page you add a note in the change screen as to what you are correcting, this is generally how we know if someone is fixing/making better, or with good intentions - it's one way we communicate here. Jooojay (talk) 04:38, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
@Jooojay: I changed the dates for consistency because I was already reviewing all the citations. Month Day, Year is also an acceptable format, I'll leave your dates as there are though. The only date that I "added in new days" was for the citation that had no date at all, the "If walls could talk" article from the SMDJ, so I'm not sure what you mean by that comment? I've applied a new edit to the article and citations I think you can be satisfied with because I didn't touch the dates besides the one that was missing. Thanks!
